It has been a challenging year for Huawei’s smartphone business given that its latest smartphones sold overseas lack the ability to use Google Mobile Services (GMS). While it is seeing a decline in shipments for its phones overseas, this is sharply contrasted by its stellar performance its home market in China.

According to a new report from Counterpoint, the Chinese smartphone giant commanded 46% of smartphone sales in China during Q2 2020, netting its highest domestic market share ever. Huawei beat its competitors such as Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi with its sales volumes rising up 14% compared to the same period last year.


Counterpoint research analyst Flora Tang commented that China has become the most important market for Huawei as its performance overseas has been severely affected as many users shunning their phones due to the loss of GMS.

Preventing Wechat from being installed on Apple devices would be shooting yourself in the foot ... I highly doubt it. Trump has good relations with Tim Cook and knows that this move would basically wipe out the Apple market in China.
 
Chinese will figure out a way to jail break and install it. Apple is a status symbol, a symbol of class. It's not easy to let go of such products. If it was that easy, they would have thrown away the phone just for the way the US is treating China right now. No intension of insulting any Chinese feelings here but this is a fact shared from my Chinese co-worker.
used to be a status symbol, but not anymore. Iphones has been suffering in the chinese market for a while now.

its the exact opposite. Apple is now considered a sign that you can't think for yourself and are just a follower, not a leader.

we aren't Indians who have to gold plate everything and have ridiculous dowries.
